Charging a lithium battery to 80% only?
(electronics.stackexchange.com)
not necessarily. You get charge cycles out of a battery. Charging to 100% isn't good all the time unless you will immediately start depleting the battery. The over abundance of electrons begins to destroy the anodes. 60-90% is the most recommended charge cycle. I try to never go below 30% as that has inverse problems.
Please do not promote the urban myth that batteries save electrons. The total amount of electrons in a battery stays the same otherwise it would be charged against its surrounding!
The (reversable) chemical reaction, not a depot of excess electrons!
